The Worst Scum I Can Think Of

Have you gotten one of these in your email lately?

We've all gotten used to the "bankers" or "government officials" in this old web scam but this latest wrinkle show just how low these people go. I'm including header information...nice to note the path comes from an anonymous server supposedly using Hungarian language (Inupiak, according to ISO listings)...weird grammar and spelling left intact:

Attention Please!!! Greetings to you! I am Lieutenant Colonel William Adams...a US MARINE in Iraq.

As you may Know,there are several cases of insurgents attacks and suicide bombing going on here.However We managed to move funds belonging to some deceased persons who were attacked and killed through insurgent attacks.The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash.We want to move this money to you so that you may keep our share for us untill when we shall come over to meet You. We will take 70%, my partner and I while you take 30%.No strings attached.Just help us move it out of Iraq as Iraq we all know is a war zone.Note that We plan to use the British Diplomatic courier in shipping the money out in two large metallic Boxes,using diplomatic immunity.If you are interested I will send you the full details.My job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also your contact details. This business is risk free. Get back to me immediately for more directives.
